Health Visitors,
Health Visitors work in the Clinics and also do home visiting. They are
primarily employed as "Health Educators," to advise on the care of young
children, persons suffering from illness, expectant and nursing mothers, and
the measures necessary to prevent the spread of infection. They are based,
according to the area they serve, either at Amity Grove Clinic, Raynes Park,
the Health Centre, Pelham Road, or the Town Hall, Wimbledon.
Ambulances.
The Ambulance Service is provided from the Station in South Park Road,
Wimbledon, and operates under the Control Station at New Maiden.

The basis of this Service is the periodical medical and dental inspection
of all children in attendance at the local schools. Special attention is given

work of this Service is conducted from the Health Centre, Pelham Road, Wimbledon.
